2022 (regarding expectations)

In 2022, I plan to look forward to waking each day.

That is all.

If I wake up, that will mean I'm not dead.

I suspect this will greatly enhance my satisfaction with accomplishments.

I'm not expecting anything from 2022.

I suspect covid will ruin most of 2022. The climate will be savage and the weather unpredictable. You will read of fires, and hurricanes, and floods, and drought. And everyone will continue to be surprised.

And in politics, politicians will remain totally without any real value.

Thus, I will settle each day for breathing. I will try and enjoy my meagre existence. And I'll stop fretting over how humanity is as a whole, kinda disappointing.

Forward first!!!!!! Bunny, I think I remember you wanting to change your username? I have found a way to allow it, so, if you wish you can now. In fact, I have changed mine temporarily to prove it works and it did!!!!!!! xx

Oh Bunny,

I am not the half empty kind of person..... I am more hopeful than that of 2022!!!!! I am sure covid is on the wane, as far as strength is concerned. It is not in the virus' interest to kill. Be passed on easier, yes. The latest variant is doing just that and I hope that soon it will imitatate it's peer the Common Cold and be as harmless as such......

As for the global problem regarding our fragile climate, you have a stronger case. But, there is still time. It truly is getting the message to larger nations such as China, India and yes.... the USA,.... that we all need to slam on the brakes!!!!!! I believe we will. It won't be seen in 2022, but I am sure it will be done at the last possible moment, such is the way of man.

I look forward to 2022 and like you Bunny, I am thankful for every day I wake up to still dance upon this wonderful place...... earth.

Half empty/half full has gone by the wayside for me - unfortunately.

My COPD has caught up to me. I potential life-extending procedure won't work on me as my lungs are too good - too good???????????????????????????

My pulmonologist is referring me over to the Stanford Lung Transplant group. This is my last hope of wishing everyone a happy 2023! Might carve out a goodsized piece of 2022, but 2023 is a faraway dream right now!
